Hi all--
Yep, it's KA114, the only extant Canadian-built fighter Mossie. Jerry Y is having it rebuilt (resurrected...?) to flying condition in NZ. Those pix on the FF website seem to show at least three Mossies and I'm not sure any of them is actually their project. As is pointed out above there wasn't as much of KA114 left as would have been ideal! The bare-wood fuselage looks like Mr Powell's pine test-article fuselage which was supposed to be going to the Windsor project; the complete TT-schemed Mossie obviously isn't KA114; and the remaining markings on the other fuselage are not consistent with wartime RCAF livery...The aft nacelles shown are probably from KA114 though.
None of which matters that much: Jerry Y nearly always sends something to both Gennie and Yankee. A Canuck Mossie whistling in to land, being pointed at by my camera and hundreds of others. I can't wait!
S.
